In Memoriam

Julie A. Rakestraw is now at peace

Julie passed away peacefully in her sleep on 21-Jan with me by her side.

She lived with GBM for 1141 days (37.5 months), and for most of that Bonus Time she enjoyed a remarkable quality of life.

A brief remembrance of Julie, written by our son Alex, can be found here.

After a while, I will return to this forum with some additional thoughts. But for now, thanks to everyone in the MissionGBM community for all of the support and encouragement during Julie’s journey.
